HAT-PIN FOR LADIES HATS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 28, 1911.

Application fi1ed September 1, 1910. Serial No. 580,028.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JosEPI-I Conn, a subject of the German Emperor, and a resident of Berlin, Germany, have invented a new and useful Improvement in HatJQins for Ladies Hats, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in hat pins for ladies hats. And the object of the improvements is to provide a hat pin whereby the hat can readily be secured to the hair of the lady using the same, and which does not injure the hat each time it is put to use.

A further object of the improvement is to so construct the hat pin that it firmly holds the hat on the head of the lady.

With these and other objects in view my improved hat pin consists of a thin rod which is adapted to be secured to the hat, and which is provided with a spirally bent pin adapted to be pushed into the mass of hair when turning the rod about its axis. The spirals are so arranged, that by being inserted into the hair they have the tendency to pull the hair toward the top of the hat, so that the latter is securely held on the head of the lady. For this purpose the spiral port-ion of the holding means gradually approaches the axis of rotation of the pin from its outer end toward the portion which in use engages the mass of hair.

For the purpose of explaining the invention an example embodying the same has been shown in the accompanying drawing in which the same letters of reference have been used in all the views to indicate corresponding parts.

In said drawing Figure l, is a side view of the hat holder, showing the same in the position before using the same, the hat being indicated in broken lines, Fig. 2, is a similar side View showing the hat holder as used for securing the hat to the hair of the lady, and Fig. 3, is a side view of one of the spirally bent pins, the rod being shown in cross-section.

Referring to the example illustrated in the drawing, my improved hat holder con sists of a thin rod 64 which is preferably made of celluloid or the like. At its middle the rod is bent outward, as at b. The ends of the rod which project through the hat are slightly tapered to provide a suitable and reliable support for buttons 0. The latter are formed with a stud (Z having a conical bore corresponding to the tapering ends of the rod (1. To the bent portion 6 of the rod a two spirally bent pins 6 are rigidly secured which preferably are also made of celluloid or the like, and which are pointed at their outer ends. The main portion of the pins is disposed in a plane which is substantially perpendicular to the rod a, whereby the spirals are more easily inserted into the mass of hair.

For the purpose of putting the hat pin to use the rod a is forced through the vertical portion of the hat, and the buttons 0 are secured to the ends of the same. By turning the rod the pins 6 are inserted into the mass of hair, and as during such turning operation the parts of the spirals which engage the hair gradually approach the axis of rotation of the rod the hat is firmly pressed on the head of the lady.

I claim herein as my invention:

A hat fastener comprising a member adapted to be rotatively mounted in the hat and having a portion eccentric to the axis of rotation of said member, and a spirally formed pin mounted on such eccentric portion and disposed on said portion so that when the same lies above its axis of rotation that portion of the spiral pin having a relatively short radius will be embedded in the hair.

In testimony whereof I Zlfl'lX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPH COHN.
